Roadkill. It's what's for dinner.

Tourists that travel to Yellowstone National Park - some 3 million every year - aren't guaranteed to see bears when they visit the nation's oldest national park. But there's always a good chance that a bruin is lurking nearby, or in the case of this video, a couple of bruins.

This clip was taken near Yellowstone Lake, which is the largest high elevation lake in North America. It's a great place to take in the sights that Yellowstone has to offer, and it's apparently a great place for a mother grizzly and her grown bear cub to...

You can't even hang out on your back porch in peace if you live in bear country.

Well, technically you can, but you always have to be prepared to have a bruin crash your backyard hangout. Bears generally won't approach humans (the old adage of "animals are more scared of us than we are of them"), that is unless they have a good enough reason to.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life.

Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said.
